The alleged orgy happened in the apartment belonging to the Holy Office. One of the department's responsibilities is to investigate clerical sexual abuse

Pope Francis is said to be furious about an alleged gay orgy at the apartment of a senior Cardinal.

According to reports Il Fatto Quotidiano Vatican police raided the apartment that belongs to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith – also known as the Holy Office – after neighbors complained of loud noise.

One of the jobs of the Holy Office is to deal with clerical sexual abuse and is headed by Cardinal Francesco Coccopa­l­merio. He is he Pontifical Council for Legislative texts and a personal adviser to the Pope.

The occupant of the apartment is believed to be Coccopalmerio’s secretary, a priest who the Cardinal recommended for a promotion to the role of a Bishop. This incident and two previous alleged drug overdoses will likely prevent him from getting the promotion.
